Anthony’s girlfriend heard about the shot from her sister, discussed it with Anthony, and decided to go for it.
She works and goes to school, so remembering to take a pill every day at the same time can be tough. Now she only has to see her doctor every three months to get the shot. Plus it’s made her period super light.
How does Anthony feel about the shot? He knows that birth control affects her body, so it’s her choice, and he supports any method that feels right to her.
